Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at PayPal by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.
- PayPal never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr? cmd=_login-run".
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual PayPal URL.

Dear PayPal User,
We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your PayPal
account from a foreign IP address.
If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log
in attempts may have been initiated by you. However, if you did not
initiate the log ins, please visit PayPal as soon as possible to verify
your account:
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/ webscr?cmd=_login-run
Changing your password is a security measure that will ensure that you
are the only person with access to the account.
Thanks for your patience as we work together to protect your account.
Sincerely,
PayPal
----------------------------------
PROTECT YOUR PASSWORD
NEVER give your password to anyone, including PayPal employees. Protect
yourself against fraudulent websites by opening a new web browser (e.g.
Internet Explorer or Netscape) and typing in the PayPal URL every time
you log in to your account.
------------------------------------
Please do not reply to this email. This mailbox is not monitored and
